SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS• Lord Lyndhurst is about to give a proof of his dis interestedness which will raise him higher than ever in Tory estimation. So far from feeling sore at the re fusal of the Glasgow boys to comply with the requisi tion to them to name his Lordship Lord Rector, he intends to be present at the dinner, to testify his satis faction at his own rejection, and the adoption of Sir Robert Peel. He will express the s atisfaction he feels, in common with all good Tories, that they have one individual whom the Glasgow boys can honour without detracting from their own reputation. Sir Robert Peel, on witnessing this exhibition of humility and Christian forgiveness, will endeavour to dispel the cloud which shrouded the merits of the Noble and Learned Lord from the view of the Glasgow boys. The Right Hon. Baronet will satisfy them that they attached too much importance to th e a p paren t diffe rences between them, and that it is as necessary to the success of the Tory cause that the Noble and Learned Lord should appear bold and reckless, as that he himself should be conforming and plausible. Our Evening Contemporary, the Courier, has given the following key to the speeches of the two Tory leaders, the rejected and approved of Glasgow : .g lbe divergence noticed by the Chronicle is a part of the design, and is essential to success. The Lord repre sents the coercion, the Commoner the cunning, of the Tory system ; and both are necessary parts of the contrivance. One stands for the principle of force, the other for the prin ciple of dulusion ; the union of which two principles con stitute Toryism. One is to threaten, the other to coax. Brandishing his lance, the Lordly huntsman supposes he can terrify the nation into the snare ; and the bland Com moner, with smiling face and honeyed word, is to keep it there in quietness, and tame it, till it suffer the Tory fac tion to ride it in peace. The two men have different au diences, and use different means ; but both contemplate the same end. The Lord is sure to find among the Peers an echo of the most violent, the most arbitrary, and, towards the people, most insulting assertions ; the Commoners know such language will not be borne by the representatives of the people. To brand the Irish Catholics as aliens and ene mies while thirty or forty talkers of that class sit on the other side of the House, would beget an endless debate, even if mere talking could give vent to the fierce and excited passions of Sir Robert's opponents. He, there fore, speaks them fair. Lord Lyndnurst is sure to be answered only by cheers, though he indulge in such unworthy languag e ad libitum. Sir Robert finds sup port among the h alf-and-half men, who represent the mid dle classes of some small towns, the somewhat enligh tened freeholders, and those who are not the mere vassals of the Peers ; and he knows that the arbitrary and insulting sentiments which the Peers applaud would lessen the num ber of his followers if expressed in the Commons. On the English Municipal Bill he was aware that the majority of the House of Commons in its favour was too great to allow him to attempt to damage it there ; he consigned that task to his colleague in the Upper House, and came in at the end or the business to soothe, not the Lords, but the Com mons, irritated by the factious proceedings of his ally." After all, then, Lord Lyndhurst only appeared to be hurt when Sir Robert cut .the ground from under his aldermen, for life and his town-clerks ; and his ap peal to the Duke of Wellington to testify that he had not thrust himself into the management of the opposi tion, but had been requested to undertake it, was was merely a tub thrown out to the whale. In short, the quarrel was quite in character. When pickpockets see an opportunity for working in their vocation, they often find no expedient so successful as getting up a row. The tactics of Lord Lyndhurst and Sir Robert, as disclosed in the Courier, prove that they have been taught in a good school. Altogether the Glasgow dinner will be a most interesting exhibition.—Morning Chronicle. The Buckinghamshire meeting, at Aylesbury, last Friday, was among the most splendid demonstrations of Conservative numbers, rank, character, and talent, that have yet entitled themselves to public notice since this grand struggle for the Constitution of England bean. The body of Conservatives who attended on the occasion, and who filled to overflowing the several apartments provided for them, exceeded 1,200 persons. Of these, above 900 were accommodated in the County Hall alone. The speeches delivered were full of sound sense, conclusive reasoning, energetic sentiment, and enlightened constitutional spirit. We refer to those of Lord Chandos, Sir W. Young, Mr. B. Disraeli (whose address teemed with passages of striking histo rical force, and of luminous and fervid eloquence), and Praed, who, while he ridiculed irresistibly the wrong-headed feebleness of Lord Palmerston, with its disastrous and disgraceful results, managed also to inflict . some acute and crushing blows tipon the perieranium of Lord J. Russell, mixed with many just and valu able observations upon that degraded state to which the O'Connell conspiracy, in alliance with the all-pervad ing atmosphete of seditious Popery, has reduced what Arthur O'Connor calls the " mind of Ireland." To each and all of these discourses—and, indeed, it is almost in vidious to select them, where those- of Sir F. Fre mantle and other gentlemen were marked by so manly a tone and spirit—but to one and all of them we ear nestly insitc the deep attention of our readers, as they were reported in the Times of Saturday. It ought never to be forgotten, that meetings for the expression of constitutional feeling, and associations for its steady maintenance, are not appropriate to ordinary times, or characteristic of a state of political peace and security. They are the growth of trouble. They are defensive and involuntary. They are the shield of a threatened community to ward off the sword of an invader. When the outworks of the monarchy have been already forced, and the inmost sanctuaries of the national reli gion, as well as the pillars of the State itself, have been endangered, it is too much to charge upon the people who would protect them, that their preparatives for defence are wanton excitements to alarm, or to tell us that our duty is to lie down and die, with our hearths desolate and our habitations ruined.— Times. The speech of Mr. O'Connell, at the meeting of the General Association of Ireland, held in Dublin on Thursday last—which speech, with a report of the other proceedings, we were enabled, by extraordinary exertions, to give exclusively in Saturday's Morning Advertiser—possesses a peculiar interest at this mo ment. Nothing could have been better timed than tnat part of it which meets the char ge so often pre ferred against Ministers by certain parties calling them selves the friends of Reform, but who are Tories at bottom—the c h arge, name l y, o f not b r i ng i ng f orwar d mo re liberal measur es . A n d no thi ng , l e t us add, could be more triumphant t h an t h e H on. an d L earne d Gen tleman's vindication of the Ministry from that charge. He completely absolves the Melbourne Administra tion from all blame in this respect ; and shows that they not only could not, unde r all the circumstances of the case, have brought forward. stronger measures than they have done with the slightest chance of success, in point of fact, incurred a but that they would have,. responsibility of no ordinary magnitude, had they, under these circumstances, introduced.. more liberal measures into Parliament. No Ministry has a right to move in advance of public opinion. If it follo w close at its heels, to use a homely, but expressive phrase,. e spect ; is all it i s all that the people have a right to that it can do consistently with the spirit of the Constitu tion, to say nothing of the dictates of prudence. Now, ' let us ask those Tory Radicals, as Mr. O Connell s o happily calls them, who have been so liberal of late in their denunciations of the Melbourne Cabinet, for not going farther and faster—let us ask such persons whe ther that Cabinet has not gone fully as far and as fast •as circumstances would warrant them ? Let the op ponents of Lord Melbourne point us, if they can, to any great measure which the public voice has de manded, and which lie has shrunk from bringing for ward. We are aware that public opinion is in favour of more liberal measures than have yet been introduced into Parliament; but what we maintain ; .s, that the public voice has not, in a formal and tangible manner, demanded those measures. Will any one tell us that public opinion has been expressed in favour of parti cular liberal measures by means of numerous meet ings, and strong resolutions and petitions in all parts of the country—the only medium, by the way, in whieh the public feeling can be unequivocally and fairly expressed. Will any one, we say, tell us that public opinion has been so expressed in favour of any one g reat measure, ever since the accession of Lord M elourne to office ? If not, with what justice— let •us ask the Tory-Radical calumniators of his Lordship's Government, can that Government be charged with an indisposition to bring forward more libvral measures ? The Noble Lord can only, at best, • ass it -me the existence of a general feeling in favour of Wimp strongei measures—he has no demonstrative evidence, no proofs to refer to, that such feeling does exist. He never can have such evidence or proofs until meetings be generally held throughout the empire; and energetic petitions in favour of particular measures be presented to the Legislature. Is it necessary that we further illustrate the injustice which certain self-styled Refor mers are doing to the Government of Lord Melbourne, when they blame him for not bringing forward more liberal measures ? They complain that he has not made short Parliaments, an extension of the suffrage, and the vote by ballot, Government questions. We admit, and we doubt not his Lordship is aware, that public opinion is in favour of such measures ; but where are the proofs To what facts could he refer in con firmation of the circumstance ? When or where, since his accession to office, have public meetings been held in favour of either or all of these three most necessary measures ? We say, therefore, that his Lordship would not be acting the part of a prudent Minister were he to introduce those measures into Parliament before the public voice has been loudly and generally raised in their favour. And even though he did introduce them, he could not do so with the slightest chance of carry ing them through Parliament. He would be met at every step by the assertion that such measures were not called for ; and he would be tauntingly asked to produce his proofs that they were. He would be scornfully told by the Tories in both Houses, that it would be time enough to pass such measures when the people petitioned for them. The upshot of all this is clear. We wish to impress on the people, that Lord Melbourne cannot be justly blamed for not bringing forward more liberal measures, so long as there is no unequivocal demonstration of public opinkon in favour of such measures. Let this demonstration' be only once given, and then, if Lord Melbourne should shrink from introducing the desired measures, we will be among the first and loudest in censuring him—and among the most zealous in our efforts to supplant his government by one which will act in accordance with the spirit of the age. Let then, as Mr. O'Connell says, " let then the work of agitation commence in England." We have often given the same advice. Without it, no great measure, as we lately showed at length in the columns of this Journal, was ever car ried ; with it, no great measure ever failed of being eventually brought to a triumphant issue.—Morning Advertiser. Amongst the numerous fictions in which our German romancers have represented the ambitious intellect of humanity as holding perilous and sinful communion with the infernal Power of Darkness, there is one in which the venturous enthusiast is placed in a position which strongly reminds us of the embar rassment with which his Majesty's Ministers are at this moment struggling. " All I have is yours," says the fiend to Dr. Martinus ; " my riches are at your disposal, my servants are at your command ; there shall be no period to the continuance, no limit to the extent of your happiness. There is but a single con dition in the bond. The hour that shall see you the doer of one good deed, the same hour shall depiive you of all I bestow, and change your slave into your tormentor." Not unlike this compact is the league which Mr. O'Connell has vouchsafed to the Mel bourne Government. He promises them a perennial enjoyment of the pleasures and the profits of Down ing-street. He places at their orders his indefatigable labour and his extensive influence. He subjects to their bidding the quick wit and profound wisdom of his Rutlivens and his Grattans. He makes them in vulnerable to all the weapons of argument and reason. He is ever at their side to counsel, to encourage, to support. He sings the loudest 'mans to their praise, and professes the firmest confidence in their Adminis tration. There is but a single condition in the bond. If ever his victims shall make one step in the path that would conduct them back to honour and to virtue, from that moment the boon lie accords is withdrawn, the flattery is turned into abuse, and the ally into the enemy. The Ministers know that their tenure of office hangs, and must continue to hang, upon their connexion with this man. They know as well the conditions upon which lie proffers a continuance of that connection. He proclaims, distinctly and deliberately, that the ob ject of his daily agitation is, first, the total abolition of tithes ; secondly, corporation reform ; thirdly, the ex tension of the suffrage ; fourthly, the ballot ; fifthly, the shortening of Parliaments ; and, lastly, the rescind ing the qualification clause in the Reform Act. There is the outline of the duties which Mr. O'Connell, who places implicit confidence in the Administration, intends that the Administration should perform. Me does not, indeed, exact the performance of them all by one com prehensive Bill, nor the accomplishment of them all in one brief session, but he assists the Administration only so long as their policy shall seem in his eyes to tend to the consummation he anticipates ; that con summation being, in the language alike of those who would accelerate and of those who would avert it, a re volution. When Mr. O'Connell shall see Lord Mel bourne and Lord Lansdowne steadily opposing a single measure which shall appear to him likely to prevent the destruction of the Church and the abolition of the Constitution, the talisman by which they hold him is broken—he comes at their summons no more. If there is any sentiment of loyalty, any aspira tion of piety, any love of truth yet lingering in the breasts of the unhappy men whom he has thus ensnared, we can conceive that the picture which the novelist draws of the agonies of his hero, his mi serable regrets for lost innocence and ruined peace, his vain longings for one self-approving thought, one blameless resolution, may present no un f a i r poi , . traiture of the state of mind, with which these Noble Lords and Honourable Gentlemen must occasionally contemplate their former eminence, their present de gradation, their future punishment. We wish we could dream tlit the last pages of the legend might fitly record the last act of tile Melbourne Government. The magician is tired at last of his sins and his privi leges. He resolves to enjoy the luxury of virtue at any price. He makes public confession and recanta tion in the Cathedral of Strasburg, and dies in•the act. As usual in such cases, there is a suit between the spi rits of light and the spirits of darkness for the posses sion of the parted soul ; but it is held that the self sacrifice which could renounce the contract is an atone ment for the impiety which could form it. And so the Doctor escapes with a forgiveness, which we should be glad, on similar terms, to accord to his Ma jesty's Ministers.—Morning Post. Extract from a letter written by Joseph Bonaparte, on the 29th of September, to a friend in New York : " My sister is now in Paris, but she has rejected all ad. vances made to her. Do not believe a word of the story put forth in the Paris Journals about my voyage to Cor sica, under the permission of Louis Philippe. All the paragraphs respecting my family are miserable inventions. You will sooner see me in New York than in Corsica, or in any other part of France, so long as a Bourbon sits upon the throne."—Cortrrier des Etats Unit. SIR WILLIAM MOLESIVORTH.—From the Cor respondence between this patriotic Member and the candi date, Sir H. Vivian, now first published in the IVest Briton, we take the following passages from Sir William's last letter, dated the 26th of November, to Sir H. Vivian :—" I re ceived your letter of the 23d to-day, and I am glad to find that yo u are now aware that you had no right to rely upon nI Y, support ; but I must likewise contend that you had no right even to hope for my assistance. The words in which I assi gn ray reasons for announcing my determination not to stand again are these"—[Here follows a transcript of that part of the address to his constituents, in which Sir Wil liam Molesworth insists p l e dging on necessity himself to vote for the Ballot.] " How, after this, could you hope for ItY support without beinc , prepared to promise explicitly to vote pledging solemn declaration, I have encountered,forEvenuponsomenot to a certain de. gree, the charge of inconsistency in order if possible to support you.

I trust this may soon be the case, both for their sake and yours, till when I am, &c," LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEc. 10. LOCKE V. SOUTHWOOD. This was an appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor, directing the defendant to make a conveyance to the plain tiff of certain copyhold lands in the manor of Taunton Deane, to which she had established her right under a de cree of the Court. The defendant, conceiving that there had not been in the form of the order a sufficient provision for securing to him, as lord of the manor, the heriots and rents to which be was entitled, appealed, on the ground that the matter should go back to the Master, to inquire how much security could be effected. The matter had stood over since the sth of November, on a suggestion of his Lordship that it would be better for the defendant to point out to the Court what kind of conveyance would satisfy him. It appearing to-day, however, that no progress had been made in the production of this conveyance, and it being suggested also by the other side that the object of the parties was delay, in order to take advantage of any favourable issue of the suit of Locke v. Colman, which is maintained by the same plaintiff against another defendant, for another portion of the same manor, his Lordship directed the appeal to take its course. Mr. Treslove being accord ingly heard in support of it, and Mr. Jacob appearing for the other side, his Lordship was satisfied that the decision of the Vice-Chancellor was right, and the appeal must be dismissed with costs. TICE-CHANCERY COURT, DEC. 10. , cox V. COX. Mr. MooRE applied to the Court in this case, in which his clients were very poor, for its sanction to the Master's giving his report directly to the parties without the inter vention of the Report-office. The cost in the first instance would only be 4/. 9s. Bd. But if the report were to pass through the Report-office the cost would amount to 261. Bs. 6d. Tho Master (Roupell) had no objection to furnish the report if the Court approved of his doing so. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said—lf the Master thinks pro per to do so the Court offers no objection. THE SUN, LONPON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1526. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEc. 10. (London Sittings, before the Lord Chief Justice, and a Common Jury.) ALLSOP V. SMITH. The action in this case was brought for the recovery of a sum of 611. and upwards, for goods sold and delivered. Mr. BAYLEY said that the plaintiff was a brewer at Burton-upon-Trent, and the defendant the proprietor of a tap at Pimlico. In June last the agent of the plaintiff sold to the defendant 22 barrels of ale, and it was for the ba lance due that the action was brought. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages, 61/. 2s. 9d. YEATES V. WHITTLE AND OTHERS. This was an action for false imprisonment. A solicitor named Blake had issued a writ against John Yeates, and the warrant on that writ was placed in the hands of the defendant Whittle, a sheriff's officer, for exe cution.. 'Whittle went on the 12th of July to the plain tiff's residence, in Bartlett's-buildings, Holborn, and arrested him under the writ, although the plaintiff showed him by the law list that his Christian name was " Thomas," and not " John," and stated that the writ was not against him, but against his brother, who was also an attorney. Mr. Blake, who was sent for to speak to the question of idea dity, insisted, however, that the plaintiff wasthe right party, and on this the defendant Whittle detained the plaintiff in custody in his own office for three hours. --, The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages, 20/. EXCHEQUER COURT. DEC. 10. (Sittings in London after Michaelmas Term before Lord ABINGER. and Special Juries.) CROSSLEY V. HULLETT AND OTHERS. This was was an action to recover compensation for work and labour done and performed. The plaintiff, in the autumn of 1830, waited upon the defendants, who are the owners of a sugar refinery, and informed them that he made a valuable discovery as connected with the branch of the sugar business, and asked them to allow him to erect machinery upon his plan. After several in terviews, the defendants consented, upon the following con ditions : that they would pay the cost of the erection, that the plaintiff was to be at liberty to exhibit the plan when at work, and that if the experiment fully answered the end, he promised the defendants were to make him such re muneration as they should think fair and reasonable. An estimate of something under 5001. was accordingly furnished by the plaintiff ; but it was found by the time the works were completed that the outlay had been somewhere about 1,1001. The plaintiff then made a demand for com pensation which the defendants refused to comply with. On the part of the defendants it was contended that the only, remuneration the plaintiff was to receive was such as the exhibition of his plan when at work on their premises might lead to ; that the costs of the erection had been more than double the amount set forth ; and that the ex periment had not realised the benefits he had held out. The plaintiff was then nonsuited. The case lasted all day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, DRc. 10. THOS. HARVEY FORRESTER'S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of the creditoss under the fiat issued against this bankrupt, who left the country some time since, taking with him considerable sums of money, the property of his creditors, was held to-day for the proof of debts, and the declaration of a dividend. Forrester was pursued to Bou logne, where a considerable sum was obtained from him, and he was imprisoned by order of the French authorities, and still remains incarcerated at Brest. In order to obtain accurate information from the bankrupt himself relative to his various transactions, Mr. John Fleet, one of the messen gers of the Court, was despatched to Brest ; and in reply to various interrogatories put to him made some extra ordinary disclosures relative to his transactions, and which it is fully expected will tend to the recovery of property, and the disallowing certain claims upon the estate. The debts proved to-day amounted to about 2,0001., and claims were offered to the extent of 12,0001. or 14,0001., in which several of the relatives of the bankrupt were included. The declaration of the dividend was postponed, in order to allow time to pursue the inquiries necessary in consequence of the disclosures made by the bankrupt in the prison at Brest. WELLS'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupt in this case was a sugar baker, and had extensive transactions with Messrs. Garnett and Co., and with Messrs. Lachmer and Co., wholesale grocers, &c., at Brighton. An investigation into the right of Messrs. Gar nett to prove upon certain bills, to the extent of about 4,5001., occupied the Court during the whole of Friday and Saturday. Messrs. Garnett and Co. claimed to the amount stated upon two bills of exchange, for commission, and sugars sold to Lachmer and Co., for which the bank rupt was held asthe surety. The claim of Messrs. Garnett was supported by Alderman T. W ood, and he smbmitted that the estate of the bankrupt was clearly liable to the payment of the debts due to Messrs. Garnett, the bill trans actions between him and Messrs. Lachmer and the corre spondence showing the liability of the bankrupt's estate. Mr. Mortimer opposed the claim. After hearing a great body of evidence, as to the custom of the trade, and upon other collateral points intimately connected with the bill transactions, Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS decided on Saturday on admitting the proofs. The balance of evidence adduced was in favour of Mr. Garnett's proof, and this Court was bound to give effect to the law, and to admit it. Fiats were opened to-day against a large mercantile firm whose payments were suspended about a week or ten days ago, and which created a sensation on 'Change, hopes, hav ing, however, been entertained that they would be e na bl e d to answer heir commercial operations without passing through the Gazette. Three separate fiats have been opened against the partners of the firm, which have on the ballot gone to three different Commissioners, and it is intended to apply to the Court of Review to direct that, for the more ready administration of the estates, they should be all held before one Commissioner. CONSISTORY COURT, DEO. 10. HOLES V. HOLES. This is a suit for a divorce, on the grounds of adultery, promoted by Mr. Holes against Mary his wife. They re sided in Hereford, and lived happily together, till May, 1826, when they came to London, and after dwelling in va rious other places, they settled in Brewer -street, in the county of Middlesex ; they there cohabited till July, 1833, when Mrs. Holes quitted her husband ; and in or shortly before January, 1835, she formed an ad u l terous i ntercourse with some man whose name is unknown to the promoter of the suit. The libel on behalf of Mr. Holes was now offered. The Learned JUDGE decreed that the libel should be ad mitted, but ordered it to be reformed in certain particulars, which he mentioned. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dsc. 10. Thomas Birch was opposed on the part of Messrs. Seal and Salter, shipowners. The insolvent was formerly a part ner in the house of Protheroe and Co., merchants, at Gib raltar. He then came to England, but retured to Gibraltar in May, 1815, and conducted business on a small scale as a merchant. By desire of insolvent, Messrs. Seal and Salter shipped to him certain Manchester goods on commission, from which he had realised about 4001., but for which he had not accounted. It was stated that the liabilities of Protheroe and Co., of which insolvent was a partner, amounted to 80,0001., and that they had paid 13s. in the pound when the bankruptcy was superseded. The insol velit was sentenced to 15 calendar months' imprisonment from the date of filing his petition. Belton House, Lincolnshire, has been the scene of of much gaiety since the commencement of the hunting sea son. The neighbouring nobility and gentry are among the POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIO-HOUSE. Saturday an old man named Coker, who has been many years a labourer about Billingsg ate-market, was brought up, having got drunk and abused the officers who took care of him. The defendant, it appeared, has been in the habit of working from three in the morning till eight, and generally has had the remaining nineteen hours to spend between drinking and sleeping. Mr. Hobler—Why, I am afraid you will never leave off these tricks till they take you off. Defendant—These offi cers tell nothing but lies. I hadn't a drop of beer, and as for gin, you know, Mr. Hobler, that I never would dis grace myself with sich pison.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—How did you manage to get drunk then, for they say you were as drunk as a beast ? De fendant—They'd say anything. They'd say I was as drunk as a Lord if they thought they could get anything by it. Mr. Hobler—l dare say you'll say that you were as so ber as a Judge. Defendant—Ay, ten times more soberer nor any Judge ; but that's no great wonder, for I never see one yit that wasn't sitting in the company of the biggest thieves and drunkards that's to be found. They say a man's known by the company he keeps, and I'm blest if there's a Judge among the whole twenty on 'em as don't de serve to be sarved out in the hulks.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Then you deny that you drank anything ? Defendant—Anything ? No, your Lordship, I wouldn't say any sich a thing. I had a pint or two of warm tea and coffee after my morning' work was over. The Loan MAYOR—You don't mean to say that you got drunk with that sort of beverage ? Defendant—Not a bit drunk ; but I am growing so old, my Lord, that my head gets a kind of hagitation when I take any thing strong. I think I had better drink nothing at all. Mr. Hobler—Don't drink your tea so strong, my friend, and don't go to the gin shop for it.—(A laugh.) Defendant —l've been thinking that I had better confine myself to herb tea in future, your Lordship, and then I'm sure to be right. The LORD MAYOR—Very well. But if I catch you in a fit of drunkenness again, whatever may be the cause, I'll send you to the treadmill. BOW-STREET. Saturday William Westbrook, en inspector of letter carriers in the Twopenny Post-office, and Martha West brook, his mother, were charged, the former with stealing d letter containinc , a 51. bank note, and the latter with re ceiving the note , knowing it to have been stolen. The prisoners were committed to Newgate for trial. HATTON-GARDEN. John Henterbourne, an engraver in Clerkenwell, was charged by his wife with having attempted to murder her. The complainant had been married only four months, during which period he had frequently assaulted her, and threatened her life, in consequenae of his jealousy. On Wednesday he went home in a state of intoxication, when he seized a knife and attempted to stab her, but she caught his arm and called out murder, when assistance came in. Defendant, on being asked what he had to say to the charge, shed tears, and said he had been drinking and meant her no harm. He then exclaimed (sobbing loudly), " Oh, Eliza, my love, forgive me, and I won't quarrel with you again." Complainant (in tears)—lt is impossible ; my life is in •danger. Defendant (kneeling)—On my knees I conjure your for giveness. _ _ Complainant (emphatically)—No, never. The MAGISTRATE ordered the defendant to find bai He was then locked up, crying bitterly. LAMBETH-STREET. Mr. W. Carpenter, the proprietor of an eating-house in Ratcliffe-highway, appeared on an information laid against Rm against him under the Act passed last session, for keep ing open his house after one o'clock, was convicted in the nominal penalty of 75., including costs, but cautioned at the same time that if brought there again under similar circumstances, he would be mulcted in heavy penalties. CORONERS' INQUEST. On Saturday an adjourned inquest was held at the White Hart, Clifton -street, Finsbury, on the body of Jane Han cock, aged eight months, whose death was occasioned by a fire, alleged to have been caused by a servant girl named Maria Dennis, aged 20. Previous to the evidence they made a most minute examination of the premises where the fire had occurred. In a front room on the second floor they found the bed-clothes of a four-post bedstead and the curtains had been all consumed, a chair which had stood by the bed-side was much burnt, and the mattress and bedding partially consumed. A portion of the mattress next to the foot of the bedstead appeared to have been cut into a hole, in which it is supposed a candle had been placed, as drops of grease were on the floor. Another fire was discovered to have taken place at the same time in the back room of the third floor ; the mattress of the bed had apparently been fired in a similar way as that in the second floor, but no further mischief had been done by the flames than the burning of the mattress and the coverlid before it was dis covered and extinguished. Evidence was then heard. Mr. Henderson, a surgeon, stated that the deceased was brought to him, but it was so much burnt and blistered that it died after a night's most agonising suffering. Mr. Han cock, the father of the child, deposed to his snatching the infant from the burning bed, on the alarm of fire being given. He then gave evidence as to the girl leavin g c , his house, and the fire being discovered shortly after. Mrs. Hancock spoke to the violent conduct of the 'servant girl. She had her wages about five o'clock, and bought a box for her clothes, which before were kept in the little room on the third story, where a fire was afterwards found to have taken place. In the course of the evening Maria begged to be allowed to nurse the deceased child, and played with it cheerfully. Maria was afterwards sent for some candles, and on her .return she inquired what candles witness usually had. Maria said they had then made a mistake, they had given her two short. She went back with them, and, on her coming back again, she said she had lost them. About eight o'clock she went up stairs to get her things, and brought them down, Maria then said, " Good night, miss," and then left. About five or six minutes afterwards the alarm of fire was given. Mrs. Hancock was under exami nation five hours, and at ten o'clock at night the jury ad journed the further investigation .until this day. PAYMENT OF PROSECUTORS' EX PENSES in the CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. POLICE COMMITTEE, GUILDHALL.—•-011 Saturday, a question of considerable importance came before the corn mittee. Sir J. Shaw (the City Chamberlain) handed in an order of the Judges for the payment of a bill of expenses incurred for Counsel's fees, &c., by the prosecutor of a man named James Allen, who was convicted at the last Sessions. The bill amounted to 5/. 6d., and Sir James Shaw, as no. thing of the kind had ever before been presented at the Chamberlain's Office, thought that he was bound to inform the committee of the fact. A long and desultory conversation took place upon the subject. The RECORDER said that the order had originated in the fact that the Judges, aware of the effect produced by the new Bill as to the privileges of prisoners, directed that in cases where reasonable cause existed Counsel for the pro secution should be paid. Alderman COPELAND thought that the proper place for the discussion of such a question was in the Court of Al dermen. Alderman HARMER said that the appointment was not new. Prosecutors were long allowed all necessary ex penses for the attainment of justice, and those who were ordered to pay and refused were in contempt, and of course punishable. A poor prosecutor was protected. He had himself been paid the sum of 3001. by the city of London on account of a great robbery of silk on the river Thames, which he some years ago prosecuted, and he could mention several instances in which all the expenses incurred in seek ing justice had been defrayed by order of the Judges. The Committee determined that it should be left to the judgment of the Chamberlain to pay or not to pay, as he should think fit. . Sir J. SHAW intimated that be should certainly pay the amount ; and the Committee resolved to communicate with the Secretary of State on the subject. THE DUKE OF MONMOUTH.—Few subjects can be imagined more tempting to the writer of historical ro mance, than the latter part of this misguided man's career. His invasion of England, with a view to depose James 11., though it soon terminated in the Duke's decapitation on Tower-hill, gave birth to many incidents of the most strange and tragic character ; while the battle of Sedgmoor was one of the most eventful conflicts ever known even in c i v il war. i The whole theme is, ind ee d, p re gnant in all -absorbing nte• rest ; and admirably has the author of the " Munster Festil vals" availed himself of it in his newly published romance. The weather continues wet and stormy in this quar ter. Saturday and Sunday last were two of the wo rst days w e ever remembe r f or w i n d an d ra i n , intermixed with sleety showers. The waters have risen considerably and flooded many of the low-lying lands, so that the banks of the Co nan and soma other of our streams, have lost nearly all traces of our Highland landscape, and bear more resem blance to the meadow-lands and holms of tb: South during an autumn or winter flood. The fields are now in such a wet condition, that it is impossible to proceed with the sow ing of wheat, and there perhaps was never less of this va luable grain sown at this period of the year than is the case at present. The markets are rising. Recent accounts from the West Highlands represent the state of the har vest there as even worse than we formerly described.---In verness Courier. NAVAL INTELLIGEIcCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 10.—The Melville, 74, with the flag of Sir Peter Halkett, was at Halifax on the 14th ult., and was to sail on the 17th, with the Rainbow and Wan derer, for Bermuda, where she would remain until the ar rival of the mail from England, and then proceed to Barba does, and thence to Grenada and Jamaica. Information having reached our cruisers that eighty vessels, loaded with slaves, were expected at the Havannah, a sharp look-out was kept, and much prize-money anticipated. The Pandora packet arrived at Falmouth on Saturday, from Mexico, with a freight of about 250,000 dollars ; also the Reynard, from the West Indies without bringing a mail from Jamaica, the steamer from that island to St. Thomas's not having arrived in time.

Extract of a letter, dated St. Petersburgh, Nov. 23, 1838 We beg to inform you that our bridges were carried away last night by floating ice, of which there is at present a good deal in the river. Steamers yesterday ceased to run to Cron stadt, and by Pass. We are also without accounts from thence. Our latest date is the 9th, when the Trusty, Captain Bod man, sailed. There are this morning six degrees of frost ; wind N. E. We hear that of the Elizabeth and Mary's cargo (wrecked in Hoghland) 3,3001b5. of flax, 2,6601b5. of hemp, and I,Boolbs. of codilla had been conveyed to Friederick shaven, all in a damaged state, and sold here, but we have not yet got particulars of the sale. A small quantity of hemp and codilla still remained on the island. Of the Celerity's cargo 253 casks of tallow and 5,6801b5. of tallow were already landed at Friederickshaven, and a further quantity saved was on the way. Of the Clansman's cargo only a small quantity of tallow has been saved." Extract of a letter from Genoa, dated Dec.

Passenger, W. C. Domett, Esq. Several journals have recently asserted that the Emperor Nicholas had betrayed signs of insanity ; and if the reports of travellers may be credited, the statement is not altogether without foundation. According to their ac counts, it is stated by one of our contemporaries, the Empe ror, after having got over the fracture of his shoulder blade, exhibited some symptoms of mental alienation. Among other circumstances, one is cited as at once the cause of a fresh accident, and the malady with which ha has been attacked. The Emperor wished to descend one of those inclined planes, called Russian mountains, situated in a Royal park ; when, during the descent, he displayed s y m ptoms of derange men t ; an d it i s a dd e d that, hav in g lost his equilibrium, he experienced a serious fal l, which has put his life in danger. These details have bee n com municated to us by persons worthy of cre dit, who receivedthem from travellers j us t r eturned from Russia. It is ex tremely difficult to ascertain the truth of the statement by correspondence, in consequenco of the strictness of the Russian police.—French Paper. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds intelligencer of Saturila:, -. .) TRADE OF LEEDS.---We have no particular altei ai ton to note in the woollen cloth business of this town and neigh bourhood. The workmen generally are much better em ployed than at this season of the year, but there has not been quite so much business done in the Cloth Halls on the last two or three days as previously—a circumstance by no means uncommon in the month of December. The wool market, however, continues firm, and there is every reason to hope that with the turn of this year mercantile affairs will take an improving turn in this neighbourhood. BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for manufactured goods on Thursday was not so extensive as of late, but there was no alteration in prices, as the spinners are a.,l;ing higher prices for yarns, for which there was a fair demand. In wools there was not much business done, as prices were somewhat higher, and the stocks were not generally so well selected as they were some weeks ago, and the spinners were not disposed to buy beyond their immediate want• HALIFAX MARKET.—We have nothing fresh to state regarding the market to-day, There has been about an average quantity of business done, with little or no variation in prices. Stocks of lastings have been much reduced of late. - ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, DEC. s.—To-day there has been rather a brisk market as compared with those of the two preceding weeks. A considerable number of pieces have been sold, but without any advance in price. Wool has been pretty steady, and has undergone little or no variation. The demand for noils being rather brisker, higher prices have been asked, but not generally obtained• TRADE OF MANctiEsTE.R.—There has been no material change in the state of trade in this town during tho. last seven days. Yesterday there was, perhaps, a rather better demand, both for goods and yarn, and rather more business doing than on the preceding Tuesday. One or two failures have been announced within the last two days, but wo be lieve not to any serious amount. — Manchester Gleardifin of Wednesday. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, DEcEmnER 10. The Cotton-market has not possessed any decided character this week there not being any change in prices worth notice. Fair t o fine qualities of American have led the demand, and very good pri ces continue to be paid, whilst common and ordinary are, if ail" thing, more heavy of sale. Pernams being offered freely, and at comparatively low prices, ha s ind uce d a grea t er d eman d for theme and a larger extent of business. Surat is evidently increasing in consumption, but, as yet, this does not influence prices. 1,230 Car thagena and 120 Demerara and Berbice were offered at auction y_.es terday, but, there being no bidders, the whole were bought in. t;x" porters have taken 220 Surat and 35 Bengal. The imports are heavy for the season, and consist of 8,657 from the United States, 8,127 from the Brazils, 253 from Egypt, 1,630 from the West In dies, and 1,309 from Bombay; total, 18,988 bales.
